Glen James

Bringing money education, adding value and having fun

‘Mondays don’t suck. Your life sucks.’
Glen wants you to love Mondays as much as he does. 

Glen has been immersed in money and the finance industry and knows better than anyone the aspirations, questions and money habits of Australians. He has also talked with the biggest names in money around the world and has a passion to help people achieve financial freedom.

His experience working with hundreds of clients as a financial adviser revealed the gap between the world of financial advice and the generations that needed the knowledge, so he created a podcast, this is money, which has now grown into a family of podcasts including this is property, this is work, this is investing and more. It has also grown into a wonderful community of over 85,000 who cheer each other on in money, life, property goals, career advice, and more. Following the success of the podcasts he authored two books Sort Your Money Out & Get Invested and Sort Your Career Out & Make More Money.

He started attending investment conferences as a 16-year-old, and in the decades since has found himself on the AFR Fast Starter list and learned a valuable lesson: the smartest people aren’t always the smartest with money. 

Glen believes that once you get your money sorted out, every other key area of your life will start to fall in place in too. 

With a touch of humour, Glen loves to make the seemingly complicated simple, providing infotainment to help listeners manage their money and live life on their own terms. He has a tendency to drink lots of great coffee, speak his mind, and disagree with the majority. However, he remains focused on listeners and how their money stories are changing for the better.

Glen regularly speaks at various events nationally on a number of money topics. He is also a regular contributor to national industry and consumer facing publications.
